• As in IPv4, IPv6 has 2 families of routing protocols: IGP and EGPIGP are RIPng (RFC 2080), Cisco EIGRP for IPv6, OSPFv3 and Integrated IS-ISv6 EGP is MP-BGP4 (RFC 2858 and RFC 2545)
• IPv6 still uses the longest-prefix match routing algorithm.• i/IS-ISv6 (draft-ietf-isis-ipv6-02)
Integrated IGP for IPv4 & IPv6• OSPFv3 (RFC 2740)
« Ships in the Night » routing, has to run OSPFv2 for IPv4• Cisco IOS supports all of them
OSPFv3: Visit our demoE-IGRP: H2CY02Mobile IPv6: Home Agent Technology Preview, need stable IETF MIPv6 draftIPSec: Mandated by IPv6 specs,Authentication required by OSPFv3, Mobile IP Binding Association,Network ManagementIPv6 Multicast: MLD, PIMv2 SM, PIM SSM as first candidates.

Evaluation of IPv6 Phase III FeaturesEvaluation of IPv6 Phase III Features
Cisco IOS Mobile IPv6 Home Agent • Built on IETF MIPv6 draft 13• no IPsec support, waiting for IETF MIPv6 WG status• Binding update can be filtered by source address using ACL
Low cost, low risk to offer IPv6 services. No infrastructure change. Has to evolve when many IPv6 clients get connected
Low cost, low risk to offer IPv6 services. No infrastructure change. Has to evolve when many IPv6 clients get connectedNatural evolution when connecting many IPv6 customers. Require a physical infrastructure to share between IPv4 and IPv6 but allow separate operations

Low cost, low risk , it requires MPLS and MP-BGP4. No need to upgrade the Core devices , keep all MPLS features (TE, IPv4-VPN)

• Evaluate IPv6 products and services, as available Major O.S., applications and infrastructure for the IT industryNew IP appliances, e.g…3G, gaming, consumers…IPv6 services from ISP
• Plan for IPv6 integration and IPv4-IPv6 co-existence Training, applications inventory, and IPv6 deployment planningDeploying IPv6 Networks (now), ABCs of IP Version 6 (coming)
